Swimming’s really good for losing weight, no sweating and less knee pain involved. Wish I had a private pool too, you can definitely tell the public ones are 30% filled with piss.
You definitely sweat when you swim. People need to rehydrate while swimming, even indoors
Your metabolic rate can be several times higher in a pool or other body of water than it is on land without any exercise at all. Body heat is lost at a much higher rate when you are submerged in water and your body will burn more fuel to maintain core temperature.
So why isn’t “a long cold bath every day” the trendiest weight loss method??
because then they wouldn’t be able to sell weight loss products and gym memberships
Because it would be too difficult to monetize that trend, maybe?
Swimming is amazing for the elderly as well as the heavily obese. Buoyancy takes all the load off joints/cartilage and significantly reduces wear or arthritic pain while still providing consistent, firm resistance to movement that burns calories.
In Iceland all the public pools are full of old people. Due to geothermal energy, all outdoor pools in Iceland are heated, even in winter. I think it’s a really great public health program honestly.
This is why they say find an activity you enjoy.
Jokes aside now anon’s gotta make sure to use sunscreen, or he’s only trading in one killer for another.
Eh a good diet and acclimating will help with that too.
Indoor pool?
What do you think this is, a serious conversation?
